COORDINATOR CORNER
October 1st can be a BIG day for the ERA - with your help. National is asking each
Chapter to make a special effort to recruit ERA supporters for the Message Brigade
on that day. We need you to get out into shopping areas, street corners, wherever
there are a lot of people, to sign up those who support womenfs rights. There will
be a training session to help you practice how to be effective in doing this on
Wednesday, September 30 at my home (2002 Richvale, CLC) at 7:30 p.m. PLEASE call me
if you can come that night and devote about 2 hours on Thursday, October 1 to this
important effort. Our goal is to sign up 25 Message Brigade people per Chapter member
by the end of the year. These people's names go to Headquarters in Washington, and
when crucial votes aire upcoming in unratified legislatures, Action Alerts are sent out
so that letters can be sent to appropriate legislators to influence them to vote to
ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. This effort on October 1 should give us a big boost
toward that goal. Call me now! 488-3278
Letters need to be sent immediately protesting the nomination of Dr. C. Everett Koop
as Surgeon General of the United States. He is not only totally unqualified for the
job, but he holds extremist views regarding birth control and abortion that are completely detrimental to women. Further information Is enclosed.
The Kathy WhitirJLre campaign needs volunteers to do phoning to find out who supports her
for Mayor. Daytime and evening workers are needed. If you cam devote even 2-3 hours a
week, it would be most appreciated* NOW does not make official endorsements of candidates,
but as individuals, we can help a candidate for office who is supportive of our political
views. Whitmire appears to be supportive and many of us as individuals are helping her
campaign. If you wish to help, call Nancy George at 7^7-5197>
Be sure to attend the October program meeting. We will be discussing our new proposed
by-laws at the business meeting after the program and we need your inputs. Also, there
will be self-nominations for office for the year starting January 1. If you would like
to have a larger role in how the Chapter is run, come to the meeting, find out what the
responsibilities of office are, and volunteer your services. It is very rewarding,
particularly now at this critical time in history when we must fight very hard to retain
what rights we have gained and fight twice as hard to make further gains. DON'T LET OUR
RIGHTS BE GAINED WITHOUT YOU - DON'T LET IHEK BE LOST BECAUSE OF YOU!

meeting at 7:35 PM at 1529 Bonanza.

if a member would put together an index of video tapes members had that

a volunteer to index available tapes
and the list will be published in the
newsletter. Pat announced that the
telephone tree will be available soon

sales supplies for fund raising. Susan

delivery of the merchandice.
